Senior Project Manager - K-12 Education

About the Job Brookwood Group has been protecting owner interests in construction since 1989. Our lineage traces back to George T. Heery: one of the original developers of the Construction Project Management profession and creator of the Bridging delivery method. We've managed over $10 billion in construction programs across healthcare, education, government, and commercial sectors. Now we're looking for senior professionals who want to help us grow. We are seeking experienced owner's representatives and program managers with expertise in K-12 school districts and public education who have developed strong relationships working directly with school districts, public school administrators, and education boards. If you've spent your career earning the trust of the people who own these buildings—and you're looking for a platform to continue serving those clients without the overhead of running your own firm—Brookwood may be the right fit. We welcome candidates from any U.S. location who are willing to travel to project sites as needed. This role offers significant autonomy to manage client relationships while leveraging Brookwood's resources, reputation, and technology platform. If you're tired of working for firms that don't share your commitment to actually representing the owner's interests, let's talk. Key Responsibilities Lead complex new school construction, renovations, additions, athletic facilities, and bond-funded capital improvement programs from planning through closeout. Cultivate client relationships and develop new business opportunities. Serve as the owner's trusted advisor on budget, schedule, quality, and risk management. Navigate state education department requirements, local school district standards, and applicable state construction oversight agencies. Mentor junior staff and contribute to firm-wide knowledge and best practices. Contribute to proposals and business development pursuits. Travel to project sites as needed to provide hands-on owner's representation. Requirements 15+ years in construction project management, program management, or owner's representation. Demonstrated track record managing $25M+ K-12 school construction projects. Strong working relationships with school districts, public school administrators, and education boards. Excellent communication skills and executive presence. Willingness to travel to project sites as needed. Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or related field. Preferred Qualifications Experience navigating state education department requirements, local school district standards, and applicable state construction oversight agencies and project closeout requirements. CCM, PMP, PE, RA, or LEED AP certification. Experience with state education facility approval processes, familiarity with school district procurement processes and education-specific building codes What You'll Gain Competitive base compensation plus project-based incentives. Meaningful equity participation for the right candidates. Autonomy to manage your client relationships your way. Back-office support so you can focus on clients, not admin. A technology-forward platform with AI-powered project management tools. Flexibility to work remotely while traveling to project sites as needed. Why Brookwood? We were co-founded by George Heery: the person who literally invented much of what we now call Construction Management and Program Management, including the Bridging method. That's our foundation and it's a rich legacy of serving clients and delivering construction projects. But we're not living in the past. We're building AI-powered tools that automate the tedious work and give our people on the ground actual superpowers. The goal isn't efficiency for its own sake, it's serving our clients better and bringing some joy back to managing construction projects. If that sounds like the kind of place you want to be, let's talk.
